Unleashing the Sound Waves: "This is More Than a One-Man Show"
- *
Individual endeavor isn't sufficient in this case. - "Multiple individuals contribute to this undertaking"
For over a decade, the electro-house phenomenon, Alle Farben, alias Frans Zimmer (39), has been conquering the global music scene. Recently, he boldly shared an unexpected twist in his journey – a serious mishap. In a candid chat with Spot on news, Alle Farben sheds light on his post-accident comeback, future aspirations, and more.
Landing a Decade of Success – What’s That Like?
Alle Farben (laughs): Man, it feels kickass! I’ve been creating beats for 21 years, 11 of those skyrocketing my career. Every year brings a surge of booking requests, playing at big gigs, and collaborating with top-notch artists – and I’m grateful to keep it going at such a high level. To see the world, visit places unplanned, and do it all through my passion – that's living the dream!
The Power of Humility
Alle Farben: I’ve a fantastic circle of pals and talented team members. They help me stay grounded when the success gets overwhelming – but honestly, that hasn’t happened much. I've stayed friends with awesome people for years, which I'm thankful for. At the end of the day, we’re all human, made of water just like the rest. It's important to remember that just because you're successful, you're not superior to others.
Evolution in Sound and Persona
Alle Farben: I’m experiencing a fresh take on my own music, returning to my roots with the single "Flowers." I collaborated with Graham Candy, an artist I teamed up with eleven years ago, which feels like closing a loop – a labor of love, indeed.
Change and Growth – Embracing the Journey
Alle Farben: I’ve gone through highs and lows, including a time when I struggled with the fame. Now I appreciate and use my career to pursue passions, a skill I learned over the years.
Performance Nerves – Welcome to the Show
Alle Farben: Stage jitters? They've never left me, and I've never learned a perfect way to handle them (laughs). I know now that I should eat something before I can't before shows. Excitement and performing on big stages – it’s part of the magic!
Navigating Setbacks
Alle Farben: I’m a perfectionist – that can be stressful, but I’ve learned that I can’t control everything. A series of mishaps on stage? I shake it off, flash a smile, and keep on rocking. I've got an incredible team working behind the scenes, and together we shine. Alle Farben is a team effort!
Facing Criticism
Alle Farben: I don’t let criticism get to me much; but in the past, negative comments online took a toll. I gradually got back to reading comments and even replying. I won't give trolls a platform, though. Some criticism still affects me; but I try to keep it in perspective.
Collaborative Synergy
Alle Farben: You may think I'm all about solo DJing – but every show needs someone to share the stage. It's not just about my setlist – it’s about creating an entertaining, dynamic performance. When I collaborate or share the stage with another artist, their time to shine makes my show even more brilliant!
Sonic Souvenirs and Hidden Talents
Alle Farben: Beyond music, cooking and sports are two major interests in my life. One grew from a pastime into running a successful cooking channel. If music wasn't my calling, I might have tried my hand in the kitchen – or as a physiotherapist, or a kindergarten teacher, or...
The Road to Recovery and a New ᴘᴇᴀʀ Damper Festival
Following his accident, Alle Farben's circle of friends, family, and team members were crucial in his recovery journey. The outpouring of support, optimism, and kindness helped him get through a difficult period.
Gearing Up for Festivals: Healing through Music and Passion
Alle Farben: This upcoming festival season has been an occasion to reflect on the past and look forward to a bright future. Performing on stage again after the accident is a moment I've awaited eagerly, and I'm excited to feel the audience's energy and create music together.
The Power of Routine and Preparation
Alle Farben: I'm fortunate to have a fantastic team supporting me. My tour manager, for example, always watches out for my water intake. To prepare for performances, I pay attention to three essentials, as one never knows what life might throw at you: rest when I can, eat when I can, and find a bathroom when I can – simple yet effective!
Performing in Silence or Amidst People
Alle Farben: The adrenaline kicks in before a performance, not quietness. The excitement ignites me, making me ready for the show!
A Vision for the Future – Continuing the Music Journey
Alle Farben: Asia holds a special place in my heart, and I look forward to once again playing in Asia and being immersed in its diverse cultures. I plan to share my music throughout the continent as I continue my musical adventure. Personal goals remain the same: living well, being happy, and making sure my passion for music endures!
